Top 10: Worst Australian Serial Killers

Who Is Australia's Worst Serial Killer?

Australia’s a modest place with an easy-going international rep, sure, but it can also lay claim to a lot of serial killers -- killers that are notable enough to have movies made about them. Snowtown is based on the chilling real-world ‘Bodies in Barrels’ murders, a series of 11 killings that took place in South Australia between 1992 and 1999.

True to their name and sickeningly enough, eight of the victims were found stuffed inside plastic barrels of acid that had been transported to the titular Snowtown, and all of them had been horrendously tortured prior to death. Crushed toes, genital mutilation, unimaginable battery, cannibalism… an officer on the scene was overheard to say, “It was a scene from the worst nightmare you’ve ever had.”

Should make for the feel-good family romp of the year.
